Brad Pitt Joins George Clooney In Prop 8 Play

The Oscar nominee will play the role of United States District Chief Judge, Vaughn R. Walker. Back in 2010, Walker overturned California’s gay marriage ban, ruling that Proposition 8 went against citizens’ constitutional rights.

Both Clooney and Pitt have been longtime advocates of gay marriages. Clooney has publicly stated his position on the matter saying equal gay rights is “the final leg of the civil rights movement.” Pitt agrees. A few years back, the Moneyball star mentioned that he and his partner, Angelina Jolie, made a pack that they wouldn’t get married until gays and lesbians are able to tie the knot nationwide as well.

“To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous,” Pitt said to The Hollywood Reporter.

8 will show at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on March 3, in Los Angeles, California.
